At great cost to Chrysler. The retooling alone was enough to bankrupt
most companies.

Daimler did away with the "cab-forward" design philosophy and
predominance of front-wheel-drive that was prevalent at Chrysler and
started the trend for rear wheel driven cars. Hence the 300 series,
the Magnum, and the Charger. They also contributed to the Chrysler
Crossfire design, which I understand was basically a domestic
platform for the Mercedes CLK drivetrain.

The Challenger project only got rolling after Daimler was gone. The
300 benefited somewhat from the Daimler connection, but for the most
part, Daimler drained Chrysler resources without contributing a whole
hell of a lot. I was there; saw it happen.

Chrysler did just fine until Daimler got involved. Dodge was one of
the world's most profitable brands in the nineties, as was Jeep.
And,
yes, with a dealership organization, we probably will get Alfas
but not from Chrysler. We'll get Dodges, Chrysler, and Jeeps from
Chrysler. There will probably be a compact Dodge and Chrysler shared
with Fiat, but the brands won't be mixed. That wouldn't make any
sense.
Very clever of you Godders to be able to make fun of the Chrysler
name. You're such a wit.

Very funny. A beautiful graphics job too.
But what I do think we *might* get, after the dunderheads at
CRAPysler are canned and out of the way, might be more like this:
